The hotel is just opposite Firenze Santa Maria Train station. it's old school looking but rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast in the garden experience. Hotel staffs are friendly. The shuttle bus to the Mall outlet is nearby with 10 euro return trip.

For muslim travellers, there is halal restaurant nearby. less than 10 mins walk. can't remember the name but is always crowded.

I ve booked 2 DELUXE rooms for 2 nights for 5 persons & have already prepaid, emailed & confirmed with the hotel manager 'G' for the surcharge of €30 each night for the extra bed. Unfortunately, when I arrived the rooms, the rooms were different from the pictures at hotel.com. I checked with the front desk staff, he said that the rooms were the economy one. I explained to him about my situation. He was v helpful & called his manager. However, the manager refused to change the rooms or refund for us in bad manner.The reason was no more deluxe rooms available. After some argument & said that we will complain about their dishonest to customers. Then he changed his manner & agreed to refund. Just want to remind for those who want to stay in deluxe room of this hotel, please make sure you are provided a right room, otherwise, you will not be told by anyone even you ve already paid & confirmed by the hotel.

Dear Guest,

We are sorry for the misunderstanding; we want to underline the fact that we are not dishonest.What happened was, we were a bit confused by the many requests you had; we do not have a deluxe room next to a triple room, nor a deluxe room at the third floor. The room we had given you, anyway, was a renovated room. If you remember, we had proposed you to stay in a deluxe room at the ground floor.

Best regards,Giovanni Cirnigliaro

We stayed at this hotel because it was located close to the Santa Maria Novella train station and we were going to be using the train to arrive from Milan as well as to go to Siena and back to Milan. This was so convenient for this kind of travel. The hotel is very quaint but our triple room was large and had a very nice modern bathroom with tub/shower. The room faced the street but there was no street noise or noise from the trains which I thought there might be. The AC was very good and useful as the temp was 86 when we were there in May. The breakfast was nice with a selection of pastries, cereals, breads, juices, fruits, etc. The price was moderate for Florence and I would stay here again.

After a good trip last year my wife and myself decided to return to Florence but this time we stayed at the Aurora.The hotel is situated just of the train station and is handy for all the sights. It is very clean and the breakfast in the garden is highly recommended. It is also tremendous value for money.What makes it special is the owner Giovanni and his wife along with his staff who make you very welcome. nothing is too much bother to them.We came as tourists and left as friends and we will certainly be back again next year.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in April 2014. It is located close to Santa Maria Novella train station. You have to exit on the right hand side and then cross the road and you are there. Room was good. Breakfast was good as well. We had a few minor problems when we just checked in.All our concerns were adressed and resolved promptly. Hotel located close to several restaraunts. The main Florence attractions are within walking distance.

We stayed for four days before Easter and because their were three of us with a child we were given one of the very old rooms. Not good! So we asked for a new room. We were luckily able to get one of the few renovated rooms and they squeezed a fold out bed in. It was much nicer and made for a pleasant stay. The train station is right across the road and there are great restaurants close by. We also found that if you leave your window open you will get a few Mosquitos.
